misses the front end 33-21 AU 2:59

This may be a common bball saying, but when I heard someone say that missing the front end of a 1 and 1 is the same thing as a turnover, I started seeing it differently.

Allen needs to look for his shot more. He passes up a lot of good looks. Over passes sometimes. 

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Little too much dribbling by kd there. 39-27 AU at half 

[ShocksMyBrain 9,362]

How was KD not fouled on that final possession?

[wareagleguy 1,393]

Good half

He already made one. But he's 1/3 on the day. I think his season average is around 25%.

There is literally nobody straight stone Cold dawg like KD, Wendell is up there, but KD is just a different animal when he has that psycho running through his veins 

Great player to have on your team for sure.

This may  by nitpicking but hoping some of the sloppiness and  poor shot selection will gradually start to decline. Don’t want it to become a habit

He needs less minutes. Liability . That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it

Love KD but on that last possession Kessler passed out to KD then reset down low to get great position on a much smaller player KD needed to give the ball back to Kessler for an easy basket. Our guards do a great job passing on the pick and rolls for Kessler dunks but still don't do very well  getting ball to big men when Kessler or Smith get down low position. If we can add that to our game we will be real hard to beat this year.

Our bench … 2 pts, 2 stls, 4 boards … 6 fouls

So far this is first game our bench is not a net positive

Ah. I only caught the tail end of the 1st half, and saw the two misses.

I predict that by tournament time he will be crucial to our success.

Guards making a good entry pass is almost a lost art. It’s like a midrange jumper.

Just going to take him time. I'm understanding of that. Just thought he'd be progressing a little more. If he gets going...this team would be unstoppable. He's really needed on the offensive end when we get in droughts. KD saves us but Allen is capable of creating his own shot as well. 

He just looks very unsure of himself at times. Like he doesn't want to mess up the flow of the team and he's over thinking instead of just playing. Like that wild layup attempt and times when the shot clock is going down and he needs to put it up but passes. He should be more aggressive especially when it comes to the 2nd team.
